It's Friday and it only seems appropriate

What's your favorite beer?
I like brown beers and dark beers, but I seldom drink beer. Or anything gassy.

What's your favorite wine?
Full bodied, dry reds, like Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.

What's your favorite hard liquor/cocktail?
Scotch (single malt islay), Rusty Nail

Hell yes I drink! Lol

Beer: Miller Lite (lame, I know)
Wine: Riesling (lame, I know)
Cocktails: this is where I cease to be lame

Fave of all time: milk punch, a specialty from the little corner of the state DH is from. Milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and bourbon frozen til slushy. OMG. Very little in the world makes me happier than getting an invitation to a wintertime cocktail party in DH's hometown because I know they'll have this stuff by the punchbowl-ful.

And my classic default: bourbon and ginger. There are so many good bourbons in the world and so little time to drink them all that I'm not terribly brand loyal. I wouldn't want any bourbons to feel excluded and have their feelings hurt

FormerlyRR, love a Pimms Cup!

Found a recipe for milk punch! I'm so making this. 

That's a sacrilege! No bourbon!

This seems like the proportions we use locally, shrunk down for individual servings. gardenandgun.com/article/martha-fooses-milk-punch

Just following up... Last night we drank that bottle of Nevada city that you so kindly brought over. It was good!

to talk about alcohol.  So let's.

Do you drink alcohol of any kind?
What's your favorite beer?
What's your favorite wine?
What's your favorite hard liquor/cocktail?
Tried anything new lately you loved?

missed it on Friday:
- i will try most anything alcohol.
- bud light with lime is my favorite.
- i love cabernet sauvignons, especially the really expensive ones--silver oak, opus one, etc. (we took our honeymoon in Napa
Valley and i became spoiled).
- i like most flavored martini's, especially ones with chocolate or caramel in the flavorings.
- i just finished a 9 month pregnancy, so other than an occassional sip here and there to try a good wine that someone mentioned, i haven't been drinking for quite a while--nothing new tried lately.   i am also trying to exclusively breastfeed for my maternity leave, so it will be a while longer before i get to do any serious alcohol samplings.
